Only rarely has such a beautiful synergy of form and function been built as the Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso. Denoting the word “luxury” in Italian, the Lusso was the final apogee of 10 years of development of the 250 GT platform, benefiting from a decade of lessons learned.

Only rarely has such a beautiful synergy of form and function been built as the Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso. Denoting the word “luxury” in Italian, the Lusso was the final apogee of 10 years of development of the 250 GT platform, benefiting from a decade of lessons learned.
Introduced at the 1962 Paris Salon as a replacement for the 250 GT Coupe, the Lusso featured new coachwork by Scaglietti based on a Pininfarina design. It remains one of the most successful sports car designs ever conceived, unanimously perfect from every angle. With delicate curves and flowing lines, the coachwork was distinguished by classic early cues like an egg-crate grille and bulbous wings. These gave way to a luxuriously trimmed, glass-heavy cabin with a fastback profile punctuated by a Kamm tail. Inside, an all-new interior arrangement was highlighted by a revised dash panel and leather upholstery.
